A cup of your blood is being poured into my lips;
this is a blessed drink from all the blessed;
Allow me to taste its drops by my tongue;
let me be purified; glorified, being your veins;
A piece of your bread is being baked into my throat;
This is a blessed body from all the blessed;
Allow me to eat the loaf by my own teeth;
Let me be crucified; killed by your deadly sin;
It's a prayer from the Earth; not from heaven !
